National Mutt Day

Happy National Mutt Day! Mixed breed dogs are just as wonderful as pure breed dogs. The majority of shelter dogs are mixed breed dogs and each one of them are in desperate need of a home. #adoptdontshop #nationalmuttday

We will be open on Thanksgiving Eve, November 27th, from 8am-12pm and then closed for Thanksgiving Day. We will resume with normal business hours on Friday November 29th. Have a wonderful holiday with friends and family!

I’m sure anyone with a cat has had this happen to them before 😆

Has your dog been good all year? If so, check out our limited edition stocking stuffers for your furry friends! If they haven’t been good, we have coal upon request. 😆 (2 sizes of bags, larger one includes light leash)

“Layla” loved wearing her laser goggles while she was getting her sprained tricep muscles lasered. Since many dogs are athletes, they can get similar injuries as humans!

It’s getting cold out there! Be sure your dogs are warm enough outside, since they can get cold too. This is a public safety announcement from “Bruno”. 😊

Nancy loves giving “Ookie” some attention and is stalling until she absolutely needs to go home 😁

The progression of a happy cat at the vet... “Milo” has had a tough start to his life but then found a new home with a very caring client and got him feeling and looking better! He has FIV (feline AIDS) which is not contagious to humans but can be to other cats so it’s important to keep them indoors to prevent the spread to other cats. Since they are immunocompromised, they can easily get sick with bacterial and viral infections but if it’s caught early, they can recover fine. They can live a full and happy life and that’s exactly what Milo is doing! 🤗

All shelter animals need love and a new home! This is a just a simple, uplifting story!

Yesterday, this gentleman wandered in the shelter and asked to see an old dog in need of a home. We paired him with Jack; a 13 year old dachshund mix who has dental disease, a heart murmur, and typical old man lumps/bumps. He said, "He's perfect, I'll take him. What vet do you recommend I take him too?"

Jack curled up on his lap and caught a nap while they both patiently waited for the paperwork to be processed. This is what animal welfare is all about. Falling in love, giving second chances to those who need it most, and finding the heroes in humanity. Happy tails Jack! We couldn't be happier for you! ❤

We love a good outfit AND a good pun! “Oscar” is always styling at the vet! #GOT #yorkie

Happy November! Pedicure special this month- 10% off nail trims for all your pets!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM ALL OF US AT AVAH! Vote on the cute Yorkie couple Oscar and Angel or the adorable hot dog Waggs, for best costume! 😁

We always love a good pun 😆. Happy Wednesday!

Bring your pet in costume this week until Halloween and we will post your photos on our page. The most "likes" gets a free bag of treats!

The proof is in the poop... How can you know if you are feeding a better diet? If your pet is defecating LESS frequently and with a less amount and has BETTER stool, you are now feeding a diet with a higher digestibility!

“Lily” (on the left) is “Daisy’s” new sister and we are very happy to have her as our new patient. They are both such cute and happy doggies and are great sisters to each other! 💕

Meet Shannon: she’s been a tech for many years, she has a special way with cats, she enjoys surgery, and she is in the process of getting her license as a technician. When Shannon isn’t working, she enjoys spending time with her family and friends, visiting breweries and being crafty at home.

Mandy has been a tech with us for 5 years. Our patients recognize her and she loves giving attention to every pet who walks through our doors. She has an interest in geriatric pet care and exotic animals. When she’s not working, Mandy enjoys spending time with her daughter, cat and dog, and going to events with family and friends.

Meet Nick: he’s an aspiring veterinarian and loves learning something new everyday while on the job. He loves both dogs and cats and has a special way of making them feel calm and comfortable when they’re here for an appointment. When he’s not working, he enjoys spending time outside gardening, running, or hiking and he likes cooking, visiting wineries and spending time with friends and family.

Meet our three amazing and hardworking vet techs: Nick, Mandy and Shannon!

[10/14/19]   It’s Veterinary Technician Week and we would like to thank all of our hard working techs who love what they do and care for all our patients as if they were their own. Being a tech is physically and mentally demanding, dangerous, dirty, the hours are long and the weekends short and the doctors could not do their jobs without them! All of us at AVAH thank Nick, Shannon and Mandy for being an amazing part of our staff!

Something to keep on hand! If we are not open or able to see you for an emergency, please go to VCA Leesburg Emergency Hospital!

Please be mindful as to where you buy your puppy from...there are many terrible facilities out there and although you are essentially rescuing a dog from a terrible puppy mill, you are also supporting that establish at the same time!

Some dogs and cats LOVE to eat, so it's very important to measure out their food portions with a measuring cup, not a large plastic cup that you don't know the measurement of! Also, there are healthy and non-healthy treats that can pack on the pounds quickly! It's always more difficult to lose the weight than to put it on! Let us help you keep your pet at their healthy weight to keep them feeling great for as long as possible!

Just because your pet is young or acting normally, doesn't mean there couldn't be something wrong internally. This is why we pride ourselves on being advocates for preventative health! Doing annual blood work early in your pet's life, can not only provide a baseline for future panels but also make sure there are no "silent" diseases occurring. Catching something early can keep your pet living longer!

It's a Pool Pawty At Ashburn Village Pavilion Pool on Saturday, September 7th from 9am-12pm. Bring your neutered, spayed and Rabies vaccinated dogs to this fun filled event! Proceeds go to Loudoun County Animal Shelter. AVAH will be there to help in case there are any injuries or health concerns.

[09/04/19]   In honor of World Rabies Day, on September 28th, we are giving 10% off Rabies vaccines for the whole month!

In observance of Labor Day, we will be closed. We will be open again for normal business hours tomorrow.

Happy it's Friday? Have a great weekend!

We pride ourselves on keeping up with the latest medicine and we have recently found that prescribing a probiotic during the course of an antibiotic really does help keep the gut flora healthy! Antibiotics tend to kill normal gut flora, along with the bacteria they are aimed at killing, so the probiotics keep the natural balance of the intestines in line.
